Get Your blik On


If you are anywhere close to my age group, you probably have the same horrible memories that I do of wallpaper your parents put up in your house. I can still see the 1970's ish wallpaper in my parents kitchen. Its been gone for years but the memory never goes away and it made me swear off any kind of wall decoration for good. Thank goodness there are companies like blik, helping to transform those of us who are still scared witless about the thought of putting something other than paint on our walls.

blik makes adhesive wall decals (stickers) in various styles, shapes and colours. With blik, anything goes, from the funky and fun like the Giant Robots, to the cute and cuddly Wee Gallery series to the hanging Chandelier or Bamboo. Quite literally, there is something for everyone. As quoted from their own site, "blik surface graphics are over sized, self-adhesive, removable decals that allow anyone to quickly & easily create decorative patterns or custom wall murals for home or office". blik designs some of their own stuff and also partners with other various artists to keep their designs fresh and unique. Some of bliks design partners include, Threadless, Keith Haring, Ilan Dei, Mel Lim and Undoboy. You'll find profiles of all the artists on the site.

Visit the blik website for a complete list of graphics available. There are way too many to list here! New things are being added all the time like the Nintendo graphics and SCAD-a partnership between blik and the students at Savannah College of Art and Design. You can go as tame or as crazy as you would like. And if you don't like it, just remove it and put up something else. The only thing holding you back is your imagination. Pick a room, a design and get your blik on!
